Thanks Ronp,
I'm looking forward to finishing the roof lights, but I've put that on hold until my Aux battery is in!
Here's a qick pic of the tyres....

How would you rate those duratracs? Do they give much road noise or affect the fuel consumption more than a plain road tyre?

I've not been running them for long, but I can highly recommend them so far!
Took them off road yesterday and the grip was excellent! Slippery wet grass/mud on steep inclines... No problem!
As for noise, I wouldn't say there's a huge difference, but they could just be drowned out by the wind noise of my RoofRack!
Same applies for MPG, the RoofRack also doesn't help, but then again I always find that my MPG goes down in winter!
Lots of people on the forum will also vouch for these tyres! 07 Land Rover Discovery III HSE

A couple of things on my list, and one of them straight off...
I had to blank my EGR's the other day. I was having issues with power in the lower Rev range. I'm pleased to say, as soon as the EGR's were blanked the cars power was back! 07 Land Rover Discovery III HSE

If your still thinking about vinyl wrapping Radecal in Washington are worth a shout.
They have been doing this stuff for years.
I got them to do the roof section on my D3 Matt Black. It stops the bird poo etc damaging it.
You can get them on 0191 4172929

My plan for the future is now to move the car on.
Unfortunately for me, work has to take precedence over pleasure.
